Canon EF 50mm f/2.5 Compact-Macro
Available Today
The Canon EF 50mm f2.5 Compact-Macro is small, lightweight macro option for Canon users. Its f2.5 aperture allows for a large amount of background blur in a variety of shooting conditions. It can reproduce 1:2 macro shots, allowing users to shoot very small objects. It features a floating optical system for high-quality images at all focus distances.
Tim's Take

One strange thing to note: The distance scale at its closest focusing point says the lens reproduces at 1:2, while the marking on the barrel says 1:1. The lens does only give a 1:2 macro. The barrel is referring to using an add-on Life Size Converter EF accessory (fancy way of saying extension tube). We do not stock this.
